Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: All right Terry, it's the 8th and we're down 4-6. Nick Markakis is on second base, Miguel Tejada is at the plate. The count is 3 balls, 0 strikes, and there are no outs. What do we do?

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: I think we should be aggressive. Hit and run. Send Markakis to third on contact and if Miggy hits the ball far enough, we're only a run down and we've still got no outs.

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: what are you, illiterate

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: /lowers head
/wipes forehead slowly with palm

what do you think we should do

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Tejada is getting cocky at the plate, we don't need someone with confidence swinging at the ball with runners in scoring position. Put in Eider Torres.

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: but we've only got one Torres on the team

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Okay, he'll be fine. He's batting negative .007 with runners in scoring position. Plus, he's in the minor leagues, so he'll have to drive here, and that will give us a long time out.

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: so you're saying that for every 1,000 at bats, Eider Torres gets zero hits and gives up seven hits for the other team?

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: wait, did you just see Nicky cough?

/covers eyes with hands

There, he did it again

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Take him out. We need a pinch runner. Bring in a pinch runner! Eider Torres! Get in and pinch run!

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: You can't put Eider Torres in to pinch run, you just put him in to pinch hit. And he's not even here yet. You're talking to the bat rack.

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Ramon Hernandez, get in there!

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: Ramon Hernandez isn't here either. He's on the DL with a groin contusion from repeatedly punching his own dick, per your instruction.

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: What a peckerhead! How about Ron Santo?

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: Ron Santo doesn't play for us, he doesn't play for anybody. He played for Chicago in the seventies. His battle against diabetes was the subject of a documentary, entitled This Old Cub.

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: He can't come in to pinch run?

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: He has had both of his legs amputated below the knee as a result of said diabetes.

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: He can't come in to pinch run?

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: what, do you want me to tie a bullrope around his waist and ask Dave Dravecky to drag him around the bases?

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Who the fuck is Dave Dravecky? DRAVECKY! WHERE ARE YOU?

/glances around wildly

Dravecky, I'm calling your name, raise your hand! Get in the game, you're helping Santo pinch run!

Terry Crowley MisterCrowley: /closes eyes
Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: /walks to clubhouse telephone
/dials old rotary

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: /squints eyes

Why is the game stopped? Why are you all standing around? What's going on?

Miguel Tejada MichaelTehader: you just took off your pants and tossed them onto the field. frankly everyone is a bit perturbed
Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: What, no I didn't

/looks down at underwear

shit, I did

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Oh, God! My own penis reminds me! Crowley, when the next inning starts, give Eider Torres a stack of hundred dollar bills and send him in to pitch.

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Yes, Eider Torres is the new key player in our Billionaire's Club Bullpen of d00m and f34r!

Crowley!

Sam Perlozzo

SamPer_Fi: Crowley! Where the hell are you?

Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: /hangs up phone

I can't do that, Sam, I'm a hitting coach. And guess what? You can't do it either. You're fiiiiireeeeeddd!!

Sam Perlozzo SamPer_Fi: What! Says who!
Terry Crowley

MisterCrowley: Sorry, I just got off the phone with Pete Angelos. I told him you were Persian.

Sorry, Sam! /blows into party favor

Sam Perlozzo SamPer_Fi: This is a big mistake! You'll never find someone to do the things I did for this team! It'll be a long, arduous search into the DEPTHS OF HELLL
Joe Girardi girardi_and_cola: hey guys what's going on on this team
Terry Crowley MisterCrowley: Sorry again, Sam, we've already found your replacement.
Terry Crowley MisterCrowley: everyone please welcome skeletor
Skeletor HelterSkeletor: hee hee hee hee! FOOLS!
Joe Girardi girardi_and_cola: oh, sorry, i'll just be over here sitting quietly if you need me for anything
Miguel Tejada MichaelTehader: son of a bitch orioles i swear to god
